I've used the last one the most, but I'm always partial to Nancy Zieman. The middle book has a project and then a "stepped up" version which is a little more advanced. All are on sale at Amazon and they have them bundled together I think.
Oops, I see I forgot to list the proper one which is:
Serge and Merge Quilts [Paperback]
Sharon V. Rotz (Author), Nancy Zieman (Author)
I have a serger but haven't used it for quilting yet. My mother serges all of her quilts. The quilts I have done since I got my serger all required cutting after piecing (disappearing nine patch, strip piecing, etc). The biggest thing you have to be careful about with the serger is that you don't want to cut your end strings off at the edge of your fabric and you don 't want to cut the seam in half. Serger seams come unraveled easily. The tails I have at the end of my serging get threaded back through my loops. I have used my serger for lots of bags and some shorts for my son. I have a quilt that I have almost finished and I plan on putting the binding on with the serger. I also have some quilt blocks that are finished and I will probably try out putting the boarder on with the serger. I think it will just take some getting used to. Like I said, the biggest thing is just not letting your loops unravel when you are piecing.
